[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure why pp contends this crisis is a total win for KM. He has a paper thin majority and is being held hostage in his negotiating powers by know nothing right wing extremists. How is this inability to lead in a rational good faith way a win? 
I hope Biden finds a way to move forward with 14th Amendment .

Despite what Biden, McCarthy, and the media say, the 14th amendment says debts authorized by law must be honored.  If Congress doesn't raise the debt ceiling, then any debts incurred by Biden do not have to be paid.  Also, Biden is required by the 14th amendment to make payments on the current debt.[/quote]

14th amendment does not abrogate separation of powers between the executive and legislative branches. The House plays a pivotal role in spending.

Even the lawyers at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave recognize that fact.[/quote]

The House already did that when they passed various budgets and unfunded tax cuts.  The Congress has already obligated that the USG spend this money.[/quote]
